A

Robots Are Now Teaching English!
Get ready. Robots are about to enter our classroom. From Korea to Japan to the United States, schools are putting English-speaking robots in front of their students. In Korea, robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens.
The young students say that the robots are fun, but are these children really learning anything?
I don’t think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does. A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals (个体). 　▲　, and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student. I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data (数据) is widely used in the world. 


Sara says:
In my opinion, schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots. Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations.
Keiko says:
I don’t think you can learn a language without real human interaction. After all, robots cannot think as humans do.
Hassan says:
Robots might be able to help people learn a language, but I don’t think they should replace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings.
Nancy says:
I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom. A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person.


(　　)21.Which of the following can be best put in　▲　in Para.2? 
A.Each teacher is different
B.Each student is different
C.All teachers are helpful
D.All students are fun
(　　)22.Of the 4 comments, 　　　　thinks that robots could give lots of help to learners in class. 　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　
A.Sara B.Keiko C.Hassan D.Nancy
(　　)23.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards robots’ teaching English?
A.Uncaring. B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful. D.Agreeable.
B
One day a professor entered the classroom and told the students about a surprise test. Then the professor gave the test papers to all the students with texts facing down on the desk. After handing out the test papers to all the students, he asked them to turn the test papers over and begin.
The students were confused(困惑的) to see that there was not a question but just a black dot(小圆点) in the center of the paper. The professor noticed the students’ facial expressions and told them, "I want you to write about what you see there."
The students were still confused but started doing with the test. All of them described the black dot and tried to explain its position. After the professor finished reading all the answers, he began to explain, "Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades for this. I just want you to think about something. Everyone focused on the black dot, wrote about it but no one wrote about the white paper. It’s the same with our lives. The white paper represents our whole lives and the black dot represents problems in our lives."
Our life is a gift given to us. But we still focus on some problems like health issues, lack of money and problems with relationships.We never see that these problems are very small compared to everything we have in our lives.
So we should try to take our eyes off our problems and enjoy each moment that our life gives us.
(　　)24.What did the professor do first after entering the classroom?
A.He handed out the test papers.
B.He told the class about a test.
C.He turned the test papers over.
D.He put the test papers on the desk.
(　　)25.What was on the test paper?
A.Only one question. B.A black line.
C.A black dot in the center. D.Nothing.
(　　)26.How did the students deal with the papers?
A.They expressed their confused feelings.
B.They described something about the black dot.
C.They explained something about the white paper.
D.They wrote why the professor gave such papers.
(　　)27.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The professor was satisfied with the students’ answers.
B.The students were going to get bad grades for this test.
C.The professor made the students care about the whole life.
D.The students focused on both the dot and the white paper.
(　　)28.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.The professor and the students
B.Each moment that our life gives us
C.The white paper and the black dot
D.Problems that we often focus on
C
　　On June 9th, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58.The next day, a headline in The New York Times read: "Death of the Great Novelist...Will Be Remembered by the People..."

    I have worked for our school radio station for two years. Every morning, we tell the students about the weather and the latest news. Sports news is the students' favorite. At noon, we often tell some interesting jokes. They can help the students relax. In the afternoon, we usually read some beautiful poems or play some popular songs. So, it is a good chance for many students to give best wishes to their friends and teachers through our radio station. Sometimes we tell the students important notices or messages. When the test time comes, we will tell the students how to go over the lessons. We also tell them about the rules in the exams.


二、阅读理解
　　【A篇短文大意】　本文是有关机器人教学的一些讨论。
21.B　推理判断题。设空前提到了"老师必须能把学生当作独立的个体来看待",设空后提到了"老师不得不改变其教学方式来适应学生的需求",根据设空前后的内容可知,此处所缺的句子是B项,该句的含义是"每个学生都是与众不同的"。
22.D　细节理解题。根据Nancy的评论中的"I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom"可知答案为D。
23.C　推理判断题。根据正文第三段中的"I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this"可推断,作者对机器人教英语这件事持"怀疑的"态度,故答案为C。
　　【B篇短文大意】　本文主要介绍了一位睿智的教授通过一次特殊的考试让学生们领悟到要关注生活中的全部而不只是关注生活中的问题。
24.B　细节理解题。由第一段的第一句可知答案为B。

27.C　推理判断题。由第三段和第四段内容可知答案为C。
28.C　标题归纳题。通读全文可知,C项最适合作本文的标题。
　　【C篇短文大意】　本文主要介绍了Charles Dickens(查尔斯·狄更斯)的受欢迎程度及其作品,并分析了他的作品受欢迎的原因。

难句解读
A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. 比如,写《圣诞颂歌》的目的是使每位读者思考一下他们怎样能对他们的社会产生影响。
▶本句中的was written是一般过去时的被动语态。一般过去时的被动语态对应的结构是"was/were+过去分词"。用法示例:
This house was built in 1970.这座房子建于1970年。
▶本句中的how they could make a difference to their society是宾语从句,作介词about的宾语。宾语从句要用陈述语序。用法示例:
You need to think about how you will deal with the problems you caused. 你需要考虑一下你将怎样处理你造成的问题。


29.C　段落大意题。结合第二段的前两句可知本段主要讲了狄更斯的受欢迎程度,故答案为C。
30.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的"She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart"可知答案为B。
31.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的"In his works, he paid special attention to the ‘little man’ at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time"和"make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society"可知,①、②和④符合题意。
32.A　词义猜测题。根据画线词之后的"为穷人发声"可推断,他用笔与社会的"不平等"作斗争,故答案为A。
33.B　主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的"Will you read or re-read some of his famous works"可推断,本文的写作目的是鼓励读者去阅读或重读狄更斯的一些作品,故答案为B。
　　【D篇短文大意】　本文介绍了一项调查,调查显示中国的国家形象又得到了提升。人们对中国的好印象来自于中国在国际事务中的表现,比如"一带一路"倡议和帮助其他国家抗击新冠肺炎疫情。
34—38　DACEB
三、完形填空
　　【短文大意】　本文讲的是来自法国的Philippe和他的妻子Sophie外出旅游时的经历。在旅行的途中他们的汽车发生了故障,但他们却得到了好心人的帮助,这让作者感到很温暖。

41.B　就在我们开始打盹儿的时候,汽车发出奇怪而吵闹的声音,然后"停止"了运转,故所缺的词是stopped。

49.C　在我们离开之前,他在汽车的挡风玻璃上放了一张纸条,上面写有他的电话,故所缺的词是Before。

Dear Emma,
You wanted to know about Chinese paper cutting. Here I’m glad to tell you something about it. Chinese paper cutting has a long history of over 1,500 years. It can be seen in different parts of China. Many people, no matter young or old, are fond of this traditional art.
People in many parts of China do well in making paper-cuts. They cut paper into different shapes like birds, fishes, flowers and so on.
I think Chinese paper-cuts are not only beautiful but also very useful. People usually put them up on doors, windows and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy life when they celebrate something happy, especially the Spring Festival. More and more people are interested in the art form. I hope you’ll come to China to see Chinese paper cutting shows one day.
　　Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Ping
